Reggie Tucker has âno regretsâ after calling time on his 50-year coaching career.
The 85-year-old has helped shape the careers of hundreds of cyclists, the most notable Anna Meares, who is considered the greatest female track cyclist of all time.
He also coached his son Kenrick to two Commonwealth Games, where he won consecutive gold medals in the menâs 1000m match sprint, as well as two Olympics.
Reggie said the time was right to retire but he planned to stay involved with the sport that has been such a big part of his life.
âIâve had a career thatâs lasted 50 years so Iâve been very fortunate that Iâve been able to do it for so long,â he said.

Australian Institute of Sport
Women athletes will be supported to pursue professional career options in the Australian sport industry as part of a new program being launched today by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).
The AIS Athlete Accelerate Program aims to increase career pathway options for women athletes so they can continue to progress their leadership skills in sport well beyond their athletic careers.
The inaugural program will be available for up to 15 athletes and is funded by the Australian Government’s Office for Women and supported by Sport Australia.
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women, Senator the Hon Marise Payne, said this investment in our elite women athletes will provide them with development opportunities to reach their leadership potential.
